I am trying to figure out if these are OEM Jeep rims or after market. If OEM, model?
They are on a 99 Jeep Cherokee Sport Auto 4x4. It came with it, but looking at many Sport models they mostly have after market ones or rims not similar to these.
Tires are 235/75R15
I am mostly interested on a center cap (or set), but have to ID the rim to make sure to buy the right ones. Thanks
Current rims on my 99 Cherokee Sport Auto 4x4, need to ID
Clarification : I am in Florida, Jeep is in Ecuador, hard to go take one out and look. Would like to purchase new ones and take with me if I can, but must ID first.. Thanks

Reason: Clarification
That was an upgrade package on the TJ's. I had the canyon wheels on my 2000 TJ.
The tire size was 30.5x9.5R15 OEM on my 00 TJ. If you can fit a 235/75R15 on that rim then they aught to be the same.
Actually, I'd be interested in confirming that you can put the 235/75 on that rim since my XJ has 235's and I put the best looking 30.5x9.5 tire in the back of my XJ for an emergency spare. If I know I can put the 235's on that rim maybe I'll put a new tire on the rim so my spare matches the main tires in case I get a flat and need to use 4wd.
slaponte - if you want to PM me your contact info I'll be happy to go and pull a couple off the old TJ and mail them to you.

235s and 30s are basically the same tire. 30s are about half inch taller overall. I always recommend 235s to customers though because there are more options, they are usually cheaper, and again, essentially the same.
The upgrade package on the TJ were 15x8 Canyons. The ones pictured above are ZJ 15x7 Canyons. Again though, I don't believe it matters which one when buying center caps.
ZJ Canyon top, TJ Canyon bottom. Note the width of the spokes and "dish" of the wheel. 235's will look "stretched" on the TJ 8" wide wheels:
I agree they look like the ZJ rims. On the ZJ rims, the center section seems "flat", while on the TJ rims it seems to protrude out.
Also the spokes narrow towards the rim and the TJ ones stay same width..
My wife measured the center cap hole and claims it is 65mm precisely. I don't know if that helps.
On the ZJ Canyons, I found this info (been running all around the web :-) ) I find them looking for 1997 Grand Cherokee instead of my car
Jeep Grand Cherokee Wheel Machined #5FA15SS7 (They are also noted as ALY9014)
Size: 15x7
Lugs: 5
Bolt Pattern: 4.5 Inch
Jeep Part Number: 5FA15SS7
Center Cap Part number: 52089010AB
I see a lot of the 55mm caps but now to search for 65mm caps see what comes up..
Looks like you're doing well finding what you need. You might want to go over to the Grand Cherokee side (the dark side) of the forum to see if they have more info.

It's shocking how pricey those 30.5's were. I went through 3 matched sets of tires on the TJ, the OEM Goodyears, a set of Michelin's and a set of BF Goodrich (I think) then I put 2 used Michelin's and 2 used goodyears on it just to get it through the last inspection. The 30.5's always cost a discernable amount more than close by sizes, they were hard to find and didn't seem to have any advantage over similar sizes.
One of the big selling points when I got my 95 XJ was the less than 1 year old, beautiful, evenly worn tires. I joke that the tires alone were worth the price I paid for the Jeep.
It was gravy when I looked at tire prices for the 235's and found them much cheaper than expected.
That's odd. I've never seen a 15x9" Canyon wheel, or any other Jeep wheel for that matter. I wonder what size tires would have come stock from Jeep on 15x9" wheels.
